Warriors end in 1-1 tie

On Saturday afternoon the Warriors traveled to Hillsboro to face the Tabor Blue Jays on their new home turf. With the sun shinning and wind blowing the game started out with the Warriors going with the wind, helping them keep the ball in Blue Jay territory the majority of the first half. With the half ending at a 0-0 tie the Warriors knew that going against the wind would be more of a challenge to put points on the board.
In the 24th minute junior transfer Karina Noah put a ball just out of reach for the Blue jay keeper putting the Warriors up 1-0. The Blue jays fought back and not two minutes later evened up the score by putting one away on a corner kick from outside defender Megan Beals. Regulation time ended with a 1-1 tie sending the teams into overtime periods.
The Warriors started against the wind this time when Senior Kylie Yates blasted a ball on frame as it hit the inside cross bar, making the Warriors believe the game was over. But the Blue Jay backup goal keeper fell on the ball as it came down, making the referees call a no goal and gave the punt to the Blue Jays. Even though the Lady Warriors outshot the Blue Jays 23-7 the game ended after two full over time periods in a 1-1 tie giving the Lady Warrior a 0-0-1 start to their conference season.

On Wednesday afternoon the Lady Warriors host Southwestern College at 2pm.
